    First vehicle i owned soon as i got my driver’s license at age 16 was a jeep wrangler (gift from my grandpa) 29 now and got a 2021 4runner (sr5) AND I LOVE IT SO MUCH, i guess we all have to grow up sometimes.
    Edit: not bashing on jeeps, but the more you age the more bills pile up, rent, life insurance, cell phone bills,...etc..etc..the time i had the jeep it was in the shop more than a dozen times and i know toyota’s reliability is top notch, so that’s one less problem i gotta think about.

      I've can say that I've never been stranded or broke down in my 88', sr5 , 4x4. 350K it's always been there for me, it's the 2nd. Woman in my life I've been told , I've used cruise control @ 65 mph in devil's race track, death valley, fun, the fuel pump in the tank has never gone out like it does In so many domestic trucks " what a joke". The 22re is bullet proof with OEM stuff but not after rebuilding with after market heads & headers, becareful there. It's the best purchase I ever made in my life.

  • @zaphods2ndhead193

    Correction for you about tire size and ground clearance. 2 inches of tire equals 1 inch on either side of the axel. Only 1 inch is below the axel so you only gain 1 inch of clearance for 2 inches of tire. But it is a nice upgrade to "lift" without touching the suspension, especially in the back because the pumpkin is now 1 inch up over the rocks. Just do a Body Mount chop to get rid of the rub.

    Thank ya buddy, that was bad ass, loved the video, you don't sound like a robot. you can have that 4 runner for 32 years just like my 88 sr5 1st owner 4x4 , runs great. My wife just went up to outside Portland, Oregon, a dealership and got everything we wanted outside of cali on a trd off rd premium, didn't bother looking anymore in the bay area (7 million people competing), we got all the packages we wanted and a great deal on a 1 year turned in previously leased 12,000 miles like new, started @ $41,990. Saved ~$5,000. from new. The only thing we paid extra was an Oregon cooperate opt. tax of $ 169. and plan ticket one way $ 212. and a tank of gas during the trip back to northern California. We also paid for some extra extended full warranty on electrical components & drivetrain 100,000/84 months. $2,900. everybody has to pay california taxes & DMV still. Total approx.$51,000. My long winded point being, we couldn't find shit in the bay area and I think the northern states get better packages for cheaper, but I don't know, oh what a feelin.

    Nice rig, im getting a 2024 trd off road premium plus, same color, it happened very unexpectedly, been doing alot of research since i made the decision to get it, glsd the opportunity arose, i hope the 2025 models will prove themselves the way these models have, in today's world, the working class people really deserve a quality product we can count on!!! I've been a toyota truck guy for years, can't beat the longevity u get from them. Unfortunately, i live in a salt state & that eats them up, i have a 98 tacoma ext cab i bought in Tennessee in 09, put a 6" lift on & do not drive in the salt, drove out to alaska once, down to Florida several times, it has 220,000 miles on it now & still a real good vehicle, plan on passing it & the new 4 runner down to my nephews when its time for me to be done, hard to find simple quality products that last anymore, looking forward to start modifying the new one!!

    • @francisngo
      @francisngo  4 месяца назад

      Can't agree with you more. Toyota are built to last forever. Even the new "hybridized" Tacoma and Tundra will last - I still see 1st gen Priuses on the road. That speaks volume!
      It might not have all the bells and whistles you see in BMWs and Mercedes but it sure will outlast them.
      I've been a Toyota owner all my life so I might be bias but it's hard to stir away from its reliability and longevity.
      I also plan to keep this 4Runner. Thanks for watching!

      Hey Thomas, Appreciate the comments. My infotainment was slightly scratched from the dealership. Something I took notice after I had driven off the lot. It bothered me for a little while but I've gotten used to it. And yeah, I do have a lot of miles. haha. I put roughly about 1500 miles in the first three days since I drove it back from Washington state to California. So far, I've taken it to Utah, multiple trips into Nevada and some National Parks around California. These things will last forever and while I am not worried about the high mileage (because I am taking it to places I want to explore and see) I am mindful of how much I have. Thanks for checking out the video!

    I've got a 2021 of the very same version in solid black on order. It's supposed to be here by mid-July....I just can't wait. There's a reason these things are still built in Japan. To keep the quality and reputation up on top. And coming from a company like Toyota, that means the best of an already long line of high quality vehicles. Toyota's "garbage" still has a longer life expectancy than the best everyone else has to offer.

    great reviews bro! love the trd offroad 4r. I notice you got about 17-18 mpg, which isn't great but not too bad. How is the lane departure assist ? When I had the 2018 Sienna , it beeps non-stop and can be very annoying, so I have it turns off most of the time. Also it is good to know the backseat can recline like that, as my 2000 land cruiser can do the same.

  • @Army4Runner
    @Army4Runner 3 года назад +1

    Failed to do your research pal. TRD Pro also comes with a JBL stereo and dual zone climate control. Since you opted for the TRD ORP, you should’ve ordered with the KDSS as that is the only real reason to go with the TRD ORP in stock form. A secondary reason for the TRD ORP are the wheels which are slightly wider than the TRD Pro wheels.

    • @goofsaddggkle7351
      @goofsaddggkle7351 2 года назад

      The ORP also comes with a sunroof standard, heated seats, and he mentioned his desire for the softer leather (leather just does look and feel nicer then cloth in the long run). As a daily driver these little things add up. KDSS is nice to have as long as it’s under warranty. Requires deep pockets to keep maintained if any issues pop up after that.

    Question: Any truth to story that Toyota 4Runners don't do well with after market headlights?
    Because 2 years after I had them installed on my 2019 Off Road Premium my dash lit up.
    Dealer removed them and replaced .with factory ones.

      The rain guards help keep the power windows less wet and helps prevent future switch corrosion years down the road. That's the only possible issue later for replacement. Toyota should redesign that location.

      Yes because the vehicle was bought out of state, California requires any purchase of a new or used out of state will have to be smogged. Afterwards, the paperwork will be sent to DMV where your registration will be considered complete.

    • @francisngo
      @francisngo  3 года назад +1

      I had zero issues registering the car in CA. When I purchased the vehicle in WA, the dealership gave me a temporary permit, allowing me enough days to drive the truck back from WA. Afterwards, I just had to complete a couple of paperworks at the DMV to get my plates. In addition, I had to get the car smogged (even if it's new - due to CA rules).

    • @francisngo
      @francisngo  3 года назад +1

      My mindset around this was - "less systems to maintain and when installing a suspension kit, I don't have to worry about additional modifications as it shows for some suspension kits. TRD Pro doesn't have it so I didn't want it." The current drive on the 4Runner doesn't bother me and by upgrading, I was able to eliminate the nose dive. For me, The benefits of not having KDSS outweighed the benefits of having KDSS.

      @@francisngo Well you are wrong 100%. Its easy to install suspension and maintain. The articulation is much better with KDSS and the Pro model is not made for rock crawling like a KDSS model. Shoulda done your research. I owned both and KDSS is a better system. Live and learn huh.

    • @francisngo
      @francisngo  3 года назад

      @@michaeldbhawker3556 You are right. I learned about that when I did my research as well. I even test drove one with and without one and to me, I didn’t feel that big of a difference. At least not big enough to justify the additional cost. Call me old school, but I wanted to keep the suspension simple.
      When I said “maintain”, I meant, if KDSS was to ever break, it would require the entire system to be replaced. Something that would cost more money and take a lot of time to do (at least for me, since I installed the lift myself out of my apartment drive way with limited and basic tools). For someone who may have a private garage or the time/money, it might not be a big deal but for me it was something I’d have to consider when I purchased the car.
